It is my obsession, junoon and one of the missions of my life that the

potential of each one of my students and alumni develops to the fullest. It

is always my continuous endeavor to look for new findings, gather

experiences and do research to fulfill my above dream.

My dear alumni, I wish to share with you, that if I have achieved any

success in my professional career, entrepreneurial career and personal

life, it is all because of my uncompromising urge to attain the highest

success in whatever I pursue.

You, my dear alumni, have been my students for many years, have taken

breath in an environment, in the air, which has given you the utmost urge

to have distinguished identity in your professional/entrepreneurial and

personal career.

It is very easy to reach to the pinnacle of success-for that, you have to

dream big, dream with open eyes and make a roadmap to reach such

great heights. That is all. But one thing, while pursuing your mission and

goal, you should not deter from your path, no matter, whatever

challenges, adversities and difficulties come in your way.

I am confident that having the genes of your worthy grand-parents and

parents and other noble senior blood relations and having inherited their

values and sanskars and this coupled with education of Amity, where the

power of Brahmastra "Behavioural Science" has been instilled in you,

each one of my alumni would make a success story and thus, would

become pride for their family, for Amity and for the whole nation and

would contribute tremendously in making India a Superpower.

My blessings would always remain with you and your family.

1. Amity University Gurgaon – A Cradle of Innovations

Here at AUG under your mentorship Hon’ble Chancellor, we are committed to excel in our educational, research and innovation goals and in the mission of global eminence. Our eyes are well set in our university to cause innovations in plenty, nurturing a culture of innovation, making innovation a habit, contribute to solution research for the industry and society, provide an education and

research environment to empower our graduates and scholars with the "Wings of Knowledge and Power of Innovation" so that they succeed in taking the flights of success and contribute to the prosperity and wellbeing of the vast humanity.

Towards this end, Ladies and Gentleman, I am happy to say that at Amity University we pursue innovations with a passion, support our inspired students in their innovative project work, encourage diversity of talent as it creates diversity of perspectives and problem solving approaches that result in accelerated innovation that mark the success stories of the university community of students and faculty.

I am indeed delighted that during the last one and half year there seems to be an upsurge in the growth of innovative projects undertaken by the students and faculty. An interdisciplinary team of under graduates led by a highly innovative and inspired mind of Pavleen Bali and Rishab Aswal have designed and developed a next generation autonomous aircraft powered by gyroscopically mounted twin copters for which they have also filed their patent. This innovative aircraft, a next generation drone, has been designed and developed in just 06 months and is a world beater in its design and novelty.

Likewise another group of talented students from Electronics and Communication of our ASET led by Tarun Kalia have designed and developed a 3D Printing Machine that is capable of integrating design and manufacturing for highly complex forms and components. Yet another student from Aerospace Engineering Rupesh Agrawal has made a significant headway in the field of Ammonium Nitrate for rocket propellant. Another team of undergraduates led by Ananya Mathur and Drasthi Nanda have won the first prize for their bionic arm in the poster competition at Indo-Japan Technology summit held at IIT BHU. Manoj Choudhary a recent graduate of Amity University Rajasthan who is spear heading our Robotics innovations has mentored a number of innovative Robotics projects pursued by our innovative students in the area of bio-inspired robotics.

I am happy to report that a team of highly innovative minds of under graduates our School of Architecture and Planning led by Ankush, student of final year BArch has won the National Interior Design Competition and received the winner’s trophy at Archostav 2015. The AUG team of ASAP has also won the Runners up Trophy in the Innovation in Design Competition at Archotsav 2015 and also received a cash prize of Rs 60,000/.

Likewise the students of Amity School of Fashion and Technology and Amity Institute of Design participated in National Textile Conference 2015 “Make in India: Destination Textiles” organized by Textile Association of India. I am happy to inform that the students from Fashion Design and Interior Design department secured 3rd position in the event and received a cash prize of Rs. 11000. Further our student Surbhi Malhotra from ASFDT also received Scholarship of Rs. 25000/ for her academic excellence from Textile Association(India).

I am also happy to report that a team of highly inspired minds of Ayush Awasthy and Rishabh Patel, both undergraduates of Electronics and Communication are working on a highly innovative project for “mind to mind communication” so that one day the prophecy of Mr. Bill Gates of 1998 of transaction of “Business at the Speed of Thought” could become a reality in our own life time. Projects like these are also a way forward to succeed in dispelling the myth that telepathy is no science as we shall make mind to mind communication possible with the innovations in bio-electronics and neural communication on the strength of what is now being called neuropathy, a new way to describe telepathy for the modern scientists.

Bio-inspired molecular manufacturing is yet another highly innovative project that we are embarking upon in the area of bio-structural engineering. Likewise molecular medicine and stem cell based therapy are the areas of priority at AUG in our Amity Institute of Biotechnology. These and many more of our innovative projects are on display in our Innovation galleries in the Academic Blocks C and B. I invite you all to visit our innovation galleries and motivate our young innovators.

2016

We are conscious of the fact that creating a Culture of Innovation requires an open mind accepting the fact that innovations have no boundaries nor are they dependent on length of experience, least they acknowledge any hierarchy. A young innovative mind can challenge a well-established product design and cause a new revolution in respect of creating new market and benefit the mankind at large with its focus on energy efficiency, environmental sustainability and thus adding to improved quality of life of the people around the world. The new knowledge age has opened vast avenues for open access to the vast body of knowledge reservoir that too to anyone and everyone who has the connectivity and ability to synthesize the available know how and cause the innovative mind to evolve new ideas, new product designs and thus create new businesses and new enterprises. This is giving rise to new start-ups, creating new market and causing compulsions to remain competitive on the strength of innovativeness and the vision for a bright and sustainable future.

We are truly delighted that our Government at the Centre has launched the mission “Statup India, Stand-up India. I am truly delighted to report that Amity University Gurgaon is rapidly emerging as a cradle of innovations and giving rise to growth of start-ups. The presence at today’s Convocation of eminent scientist Prof. (Dr.) Ashutosh Sharma, Secretary Department of Science and Technology, Govt of India and our nations pride and world renowned top notch techno-entrepreneur Shri Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman Bharti Enterprises and Shri Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Founder of Paytm is a matter of great honour for AUG and a great inspiration to the budding innovators preparing to take flights of success and excel in life.

We are also mindful of the fact that in a university system, we need a caring management that nurtures talent and promotes innovative and creative thinking, pays attention to the innovative ideas of its people and provides patronage and support to such inspired and innovative minds of students and faculty. We in Amity universities are fortunate to have such a caring top management that nurtures innovations and respects and rewards innovative abilities of its faculty and students. This is our major strength that is driving all of us to make innovations a habit. I am happy to add that both our Hon’ble Founder President and our Hon’ble Chancellor are committed to empower AUG with a world-class Innovation Park so that Amity University Gurgaon, in true sense, emerges as a World Class Global Knowledge Enterprise.

Further, we at Amity University Gurgaon are committed to foster integration of all sciences and pursue science and engineering in a seamless environment such that the integrative science and interdisciplinary engineering enables our faculty and research scholars to achieve major breakthroughs for technological innovations that shall allow us to leapfrog and achieve quantum jumps such as transmission of electricity without wires, solar cells of 98% efficiency (from current level of 18%) , tapping the abundance of divine energy from space, driving cars and flying aeroplanes without fuel and achieving immunity from all known and even unknown diseases and viruses.
